Jamestown's workforce began to change significantly in the early 1620s, particularly after the introduction of tobacco cultivation as a cash crop. The demand for labor led to the importation of enslaved Africans in 1619, marking a shift from indentured servitude to a reliance on enslaved labor. This transition laid the foundation for a plantation economy in Virginia. Additionally, the English colonists increasingly sought to establish a more permanent and stable workforce to support their agricultural endeavors.
